shooter fans have come to expect plus a
multitude of stages and modes to set it
apart from its console brethren
one of the standout features of
zero-hour is its gorgeous HD graphics
which sports some serious polish for an
app game why spend $60 on a console
shooter when a portable version is
available for just a few bucks
zero-hour will probably make you miss
your bus stop and you probably won’t
care number 6 the Legend of Zelda 4
swords
the Game Boy Advance hadn’t been out for
very long before players were treated to
a remake of the Super Nintendo classic a
Link to the Past the biggest surprise
wasn’t the improved graphics or newfound
portability it was a brand new mode
called Four Swords which allowed up to
four players to take on unique dungeons
adding multiplayer to Zelda was a huge
innovation for the time of course this
poses the question do you work with your
friends to slay the monsters and solve
the puzzles or need just hoard all of
the rupees for yourself 2015’s Triforce
heroes updated the coop formula but with
only three lengths and no two-player
adventure option come on really Nintendo

any excuse to settle it in smash number
for Monster Hunter 4 ultimate the fourth
installment in Capcom’s popular Monster

the Goliath beasts that inhabit it
you’ll be climbing slashing and hanging
on for dear life as these colossal
boughs try to pound you into the dust so
it’s always best to bring backup
number three Mario Kart 7
the classic Mario Kart formula is here

per second

series for the first time seven is an
overall more refined game plus its
servers are still up this game
